Chapter 715 It Seems that Knockturn Alley Needs to Be Cleaned Up!
Perhaps because this was the last meal before leaving school, today's breakfast was particularly rich. The temptation of delicious food made several people temporarily forget their worries and concentrate on enjoying it.
After they had eaten and drank enough, an owl flew in from outside the foyer and landed directly on Ivan's shoulder.
Ivan took off the Daily Prophet from the owl's feet, opened it and confirmed the contents, and then sighed.
"really!"
"What's wrong? Ivan?" Hermione came forward curiously, took a few glances, and soon understood why Ivan sighed.
Today's Daily Prophet only recorded the news of Ivan's successful victory in the Triwizard Tournament, and spent two full pages retelling the wonderful match of the Triwizard Cup. There was no mention of the subsequent incident of Harry being kidnapped. Not mentioned.
As for the riots at the school, they were excused by negligence.
"It seems that the Ministry of Magic will not make the mysterious man's affairs public to the public..." Ivan casually threw the newspaper aside and said slightly disappointed, although this situation had been expected by him.
"Is Minister Fudge still unwilling to believe that Voldemort has returned? There are obviously so many people who can testify!" Harry had a hard time understanding why Fudge was so stubborn.
"It's not the first day you've met him. That idiot always only causes trouble for us!" Ivan said angrily.
Fudge's stupid and stubborn behaviors have exhausted Ivan's little patience. If he had the ability, he would like to kick Fudge down immediately and replace him with a reliable minister...
Harry thought about what happened to Sirius last year, and after thinking about his several experiences with Fudge, he no longer expected the Minister of Magic to wake up, and instead asked curiously.
"By the way, Ivan, don't you usually call me Voldemort? Why did you suddenly change it to Mysterious Man these days?"
"He has regained his strength now, so he naturally needs to be careful." Ivan shrugged and explained.
"You're not afraid of him, are you?" Ron's face was full of shock, as if he suddenly learned that Merlin climbed out of the coffin board.
Harry and Hermione also looked at Ivan with confusion. They did not think that Ivan would be afraid of Voldemort. After all, Ivan had just wounded him two days ago.
"Of course I'm not afraid of him!" Ivan said helplessly. "The key is that Tom has cast a spell on his name. Calling out his name may lead to being traced. I don't want to get into trouble."
This was how Harry in the original time and space was tricked. As a result, he was chased by Death Eaters and almost died.
Although Ivan is not sure whether Voldemort has ordered the Death Eaters to use this kind of tracking magic at this time, it is better to be careful in everything. Who makes him unable to defeat the opponent at this time...
Harry and Ron looked at each other. This was the first time they knew such a thing happened. No wonder few people in the entire wizarding world dared to call Voldemort's name. They originally thought this was just because Voldemort was too famous.
"Ivan is right...it doesn't matter in Hogwarts. The mysterious man doesn't dare to come here, but if you are outside, you really need to pay attention. Try not to call Voldemort's name directly. There were many people there more than ten years ago. The young wizard suffered a big loss from this!"
While several people were chatting, a familiar voice came into their ears.
"Sirius?!" Harry turned his head in surprise and saw Sirius walking over from the hall.
"I haven't seen you in the past two days. We all thought you had gone back." Harry said.
"That's because your Principal Dumbledore has asked me to do something for the past two days..." Sirius sat down carelessly, grabbed a few pieces of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, and then took a sip of cold drink.
Harry and others were very curious about what kind of task Dumbledore had arranged for him, but Sirius obviously didn't want to say more and just fooled around.
"Sirius? What about the Ministry of Magic? How was the discussion between Professor Dumbledore and Fudge?" Ivan asked about the serious matter. He was not involved in that negotiation, and everything was based on guesswork.
"What else? Of course we had a falling out!" Sirius sighed, thinking of the dispute that night, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Compared to the resurrection of the mysterious man, Fudge was more concerned about Dumbledore gathering a large number of wizards to carry out private operations without the permission of the Ministry of Magic. He believed that this behavior was a challenge to the authority of the Minister of Magic... and was illegal!
They quarreled all night just because of this, but nothing was agreed upon...
After listening to Sirius's story, Ivan was speechless at all. He had underestimated Fudge as much as possible, but he did not expect that the other party would repeatedly refresh the lower limit of his knowledge.
All he could say to that was...that's Fudge!
Harry and Hermione were also disgusted, and Ron even cursed...
"Where's Winky? Have you gone to find it?" Harry suddenly thought of the house elf he had seen in the cemetery and asked eagerly.
"We have found it. As you might think, those Death Eaters were in a hurry to escape and had no time to care about the life and death of a house elf, so Professor Dumbledore rescued it. It should be in the kitchen now. "
Sirius said with emotion, to be honest, Winky was also one of the culprits in persecuting Kreacher. Previously, she was responsible for guarding him in compliance with Voldemort's instructions.
But seeing that the other party was tortured by Voldemort's Cruciatus Curse and almost lost his life due to depression, he didn't bother to care about it.
"Then before we leave, let's go visit Winky together!" Hermione suggested.
Neither Harry nor Ron had any objections. Kreacher's death made them have a better impression of house elves as a group.
Ivan also nodded.
After breakfast, several people went to the kitchen together to care for Shining.
It's just that the purpose of Ivan who got involved was not very pure. He found a reason to distract Hermione and others, and directly used Legilimency to search the memory of Twinkle, and successfully obtained the faces of most of the existing Death Eaters.
After all, all the Death Eaters who wanted to return to Voldemort's command that night went to the cemetery, and every one of them had appeared in front of Winky!
Although Harry also had this memory, it was not easy for him to directly use Legilimency on Harry, so he had no choice but to aggrieve the house elf!
Ivan closed his eyes and used Occlumency to sort out his memory, and fixed on the faces. His face gradually darkened, and he murmured to himself.
"Damn it, it looks like Knockturn Alley needs to be cleaned up after we go back!"
